Equip yourself with practical, evidence-based strategies for managing disruptive behaviours in young learners with this Train-the-Trainer professional development event from the Bureau of Education & Research (BER), one of the leading providers of teacher professional development in North America. Scheduled for July 14-15, 2026, this two-day program focuses on current best strategies for decreasing attention-getting and tantrum behaviours in PreK-2 students, providing practical solutions that classroom teachers can implement immediately. The Train-the-Trainer format means you'll not only develop your own skills but also gain the tools and resources to share these strategies with colleagues in your school or district — multiplying the impact of your professional learning. BER has been sponsoring professional development for educators since 1976, growing to become one of the most trusted providers of PD seminars, conferences, and Train-the-Trainer programs across the United States and Canada. Founded by educators, BER programs are known for their practical focus, expert presenters, and immediate classroom applicability. This event covers a range of strategies for understanding and responding to challenging behaviours in young children, including proactive approaches to creating positive classroom environments, de-escalation techniques, and evidence-based interventions that address the root causes of disruptive behaviour rather than simply managing symptoms. This program is ideal for PreK-2 classroom teachers, behaviour specialists, school counsellors, and instructional leaders who want to develop their own behaviour management skills while building capacity to train colleagues in these essential strategies.
